Joint Project UpdateThe draft Memorandum of Understanding between Sydney
Boys and Sydney Girls was completed this week and submitted to the Regional Assets Management
Unit. The Ministerial Submission for approval of the project by the Minister has been prepared
and is scheduled to be submitted by the end of the month. The Joint Project Committee can begin
preparing for action as soon as the green light for the project is received from the Minister.
The level of cooperation between the schools is high and the collective enthusiasm for moving
this project ahead is strong.

Sydney High School Building FundThanks to the great support by parents so
far this year our new Sydney High School Building Fund has funds held specifically for the joint
project Governors Centre of $325,192 as a result of donations made so far this year.
Disbursements for necessary capital expenditures have been made and all donations for the rest of
the financial year will be applied to this major project for High’s future. Year 7 parents
should be particularly keen to support this Fund as their sons have every prospect of using the
new facility in 2018, if a higher percentage of parents each year join in the giving program.
Many parents, Old Boys and friends of High have given before you so this major addition to our
learning facilities can be achieved. Funds available for the project are now $1,900,000. We have
a target of $2,250,000 by December 31 and $3,000,000 by December 2014. If you haven’t made
your donation yet, I urge you to do so. Forms are available at http://www.sydneyboyshigh.com/donations/multipurpose-centre-donations.

Trusts under SHSF ManagementThe Sydney High School Foundation is Trustee
for funds held on the school’s behalf to be used for specific purposes. Many prizes and
awards are funded from the Trusts. Our annual Phillip Day Memorial Trust Scholar is funded from a
trust. Students with financial needs are assisted and our art collection and honour boards are
maintained. Gold paint and labour to update our many honour boards with the names of our
achievers, cost more than $1,600 per year. Photographs of high achievers and Old Boys, framed
blazers and memorabilia cost c$1k annually. Movement in the Trust accounts for 2011 were:
Ethel Killip Memorial Art Collection ($98k to $101k); Mitchell Seow Memorial Trust ($6,976 to
$7,186); The Prizes Trust ($66.2k to $78.2k); the SBHS Scholarship Trust ($49.9k to $54k); and
the new Anzac Trust for students with financial needs ($10,290). The Foundation decided all
Trusts would disburse 50% of the interest earned in 2012. It is paid to the school to help fund
the purposes of the Trusts, the remainder is reinvested to grow the Trusts. The Sydney High
Foundation provides an ongoing financial service to the school at no cost and I want to
again acknowledge how beneficial the relationship is, with over $252,412 under management.

Annual School ReportThe hard copy of the Annual School Report has been
distributed. The document has many contributors. I would like to thank you all for your efforts.
Ms Lynne Williams was again the editor and did the bulk of the layout and composition of the ASR.
On your behalf I thank her for her professionalism, persistence and patience. The ASR is not a
document to publish and forget. It is an expression of what we have done, are doing and want to
do this year. I use it as a blueprint supporting the Management Plan for the year. The Executive
will be analysing data from various sections of the report and refining our practice or
responding to suggestions as appropriate. I commend the report to you. A soft copy can be found

From the Canteen

Thank you to everyone who volunteers in our canteen, without your help it could not run as well
as it does. Ours is one of the few remaining school canteens which is not
privately owned, which means we are able to make the substantial funds which we give to the P
& C to spend on items which benefit all of our sons.

The Canteen Committee meets on the 2nd Friday of each month at 3.00pm in the boardroom. We
are looking for new members as our current committee only have one more year at the school and
ideally we need some people from Yrs 7-9 to join now. If you would like to become involved,
please come along. The next meeting will be Friday 12th April.

Thanks to Ming and Theo for coming in at the last minute when it wasn’t your day, it was
much appreciatedThe Canteen Team

SBHS Debating

PDC begins this week with the Hume Barbour Competition. We have entered two teams this year:
SBHS Reds are a Year 11 squad Jon Freiburg, Tushaar Garg, Andrew Liu, Sam
Philis, Lokesh Sharma and this week their first debate is against St George Girls at High. SBHS
Blues who are Connor, Khushaal, Albert and Wilber have not got their first debate scheduled yet.
Good luck to you, boys. In addition we have a Year 11 team entered into the Metro debating
competition (Karl Kramp) and these boys are: Peter Stephens, Riley Irwin, Daniel Fang, Edric
Wang. We had great success in PDC last year with Year 12s victorious across the State; Year 11s
runners up in the Regional final and Year 10s narrowly missing out on State victory. Best of luck
this year to all the boys who are representing High in the Premier’s Debating Challenge.

Over the last two Fridays we had varied success in the Years and in the competitions, but overall
we are still in a good position to reach Semi-finals if we continue to gain confidence and get
good results. As always we are disadvantaged in FED and Eastside because we rotate our teams.
However, this means a range of boys get to competitively debate which is a positive benefit.
Remember, if you are interested in debating YOU MUST TELL YOUR COACH.

I was away on the Canberra excursion last week so was unable to submit a report from either
myself or from Khushaal, who is our debating prefect. Each week Khushaal will give you some more
detail on his debate and one other. If you would like to have your debate featured then please
talk to Khushaal.

This week both debates are away – FED at Newington and Eastside at Reddam. Good luck to
teams. I will be going to Newington and Ms Rigby to Reddam.

There is a parking event this weekend. I sent an email from Sunil, our Parking Coordinator. Thank
you to families who have already responded.

Thank you to all the parents who have been providing food and help for suppers over the last few
weeks. We have had two double hostings which is tough going, but the other MICs are impressed
with our organisation and at what a good spread we put on.

Each week I send out an email to debating families. In order to receive this email please send me
an email to

Please tell me your name and Year group or your son’s name and Year group and I will add

MIC Debating

Eastside Round 2 competition saw High front up against Cranbrook. Though our
results are promising with lots of win in Junior Years, the Senior teams have been very unlucky
with some very odd topics and some close decisions. This week’s Senior topic was
“that we should legalize recreational drugs in music festivals”. The Senior A team
had a high quality debate and were unlucky to come away the losing side. However they did
demonstrate a major improvement from the rustiness shown last week and should boost them for next
week’s debate against Sydney Girls.

In the FED competition we again saw successful Junior teams highlighting how High Debating is in
very good hands. Unfortunately, the Year 12 FED team lost their debate in what was a very close
and challenging topic about “stopping trade with countries that abuse human rights”.
Year 11 FED was successful and won their debate convincingly. Khushaal Vyas

1st Grade The final round of the GPS competition saw High travel to
King’s to take on the competition leaders. The boys were looking forward to the challenge
of playing spoilers to the King’s premiership along with the opportunity to end the season
on a high note. It was a deflating start for us, with High going down in all three doubles.
Number 1 doubles, Patrick and Frank played a memorable match for the last time as a pair that
consisted of numerous changes of momentum, going down in a tight battle 4-6 6-7(5). Number 2
doubles, Ian and Eddy put in a great effort against the undefeated number 2 pair from Kings,
despite going down 1-6 1-6. Number 3 doubles, Adam and Josh played some excellent points in the
match, however were undone by their opponents creative play, 1-6 2-6. In the number 1 singles, a
powerful match consisting of big groundstrokes and serves saw Patrick come up just short of
victory in his final match, 4-6 4-6. In the number 2 singles, Frank was unable to find the form
that carried him throughout the season, also going down in his final match 0-6 2-6. The number 3
singles saw Ian play his final match with courage against a much stronger opponent, going down
1-6 0-6. In the number 4 singles, Adam’s consistent game was undone by some impressive play
by his opponent, 1-6 2-6. In the number 5 singles, Josh fought back in the second set to tighten
the match after a loose first set, but ultimately came up short in the end, 1-6 4-6. In the
number 6 singles, Eddy was unable to find a way around his crafty young opponent, going down 1-6
0-6. The final result was a disappointing defeat at the hands of the 2013 premiers, with High
being undone by the superior play displayed by our opponents. For the Year 12 boys, Patrick,
Frank, and Ian, it was definitely an emotional day with the boys playing for the school for the
final time. Despite the efforts of all the boys in the team throughout the whole season, High
placed a disappointing 7th overall with inclement weather proving detrimental to our performance
this season. However, the strong performances of our top two players saw Patrick gain selection
at number 4 in the 1st grade GPS team and Frank earning selection as number 1 in the 2nd grade
GPS team. As the 2012/2013 season along with my five year endeavour in 1st grade tennis have come
to an end, there are numerous people that need to be thanked for all their time and effort in
making High tennis a memorable experience for all; Dr Jaggar for his ongoing support towards
tennis, MIC Mr Wright for his countless hours dedicated to the organisational work behind tennis,
coach David Deep, Mr Pavone, TJ, Josh and Kurt.Frank Zhang

2nd GradeAfter having two Saturdays rained out, High 2nds trained as hard
as ever to improve their skills to perform their absolute best for the final match of the GPS
season against King’s. Doubles pair number 1, Carl and Richard, performed
aggressively with their net play gaining a tight lead on their opponents, winning the first
set 6-4. The Second set proved slightly troublesome as performance began to lower, however only
just losing the set 4-6. The super tie-breaker finisher forced the two to play their absolute max
which proved it’s worth winning the super tie-break at a comfortable 10-2. Number 2
doubles, Bohan and Ryo, performed strongly against their opponents. However, unforced errors and
aggressive net play from the opponents led to a 3-6 3-6 loss. Number 3 doubles, Matt and James, a
new pair fought hard and strongly against their opponents, however lack of experience and also
intense net play from King’s led to a 2-6 1-6 loss. With King’s only one match ahead
of High, Seconds were ready to take the win with the singles. Number one singles, Carl, began the
first set comfortably however unforced errors through the latter part of the set led to a tight
7-5 win. Increased consistency from the opponent and unforced errors led to a still tight loss in
the second set, 4-6. In the third set, Carl was ready to take the win, but lack of confidence and
consistency led to a disappointing loss in the last set, 2-6. Number 2 singles, Richard, had a
tough battle against his consistent and aggressive opponent. With a 4-1 lead in the first set,
unforced errors led to a 4-6 loss. The second set was the redemption of Richard as hard
fought points and increased consistency led to a 6-3 win. The last set was intense with neither
player giving up the match which unfortunately came to a tie due to the time at 3-4. Number 3
singles, Ryo, had a difficult battle against a strong yet also consistent player winning the
first set through pure hard fought points, 7-5. However, the second set was taken by King’s
due to increasing unforced errors unlike the first set, losing 1-6. However the third set proved
to be another intense and long one with King’s only just managing to take the win 6-4.
Singles number 4, James, played against a very heavy top spin player who was also aggressive at
the net. Holding his opponent off at the baseline proved worthwhile, however increased pressure
from the opponent and his net play led to a 3-6 2-6 loss. Number 5 singles, Matt, a new player
playing his first GPS second grade match was sure to play his absolute hardest. Experience from
the opponent and heavy fast groundstrokes however, led to a hard fought loss of 1-6 1-6. Number 6
singles, Bohan, played a tough heavy spinner on both serves and groundstrokes. The unorthodox and
awkward balls along with unforced errors led to a 0-6 1-6 loss. Although High did not perform
well in terms of the results, the amount of intense and hard fought points indicate the start to
a new beginning as High will be more ready than ever for the next season of Tennis. Finally, our
coach Matthew Cotton needs to be thanked for his efforts in improving our results each
week.Carl Yang

End of Season Tennis Barbeque

Following the completion of the 2nd grade rubber at home, the boys from across the board of age
groups from the tennis program came out in force for a fabulous night of tennis activities with
friends and family. The boys were treated to a huge feast consisting of a sausage sizzle, bbq
chicken, chips, drinks and a large array of salads. The activities on offer including the ever so
popular speed serve, and the giant Wilson racquet were among the big hits of the night. Overall
the night was a huge success for all, with the valuable funds raised going straight back into our
fantastic tennis program. Special thanks to Rob Rynsaardt, our fantastic tennis president and
expert barbeque chef, MIC Mr Wright, coach David Deep, the 1st grade boys for collecting the
money and to everyone who attended to support High tennis.

5th & 6th Tennis

Saturday the 16th of March. The last GPS tennis match for the season, and for some of us, our
last tennis match for High ever. What came about at the end of the day were disappointing
results, but as we were up against King’s- one of the best schools for tennis in the GPS,
I’d say we went down fighting. Doubles across the board for the 5th and 6th grade teams
resulted in losses, with players including myself taking a while to warm up and get back into the
swing of things (pun intended) after last week’s Head of the River. After a few games my
serve was once again up to par, but it was too late for the match, and Junjie and I lost 6-3.

In regard to singles, most of the matches once again were losses, with quite a few scores lying
at 6-2. However for some this was not the case. In the final points of his game Gordon Q in 6th
grade pulled away in the tiebreaker to take the match. In my own game (as seed 5.1) I was neck
and neck with my opponent, who seemed to be an equal with me in terms of skill and fitness.
However it was he who dropped out first, and at 4-4 I pulled away to win the next two games and
the match. He was clearly disappointed, a feeling I imagine was shared by many boys on the day
who did not win. Of course it’s always nice to end on a high, but it’s just as
important to remember the rest of the season with every other match and every other training
session. While this may have been my last tennis match for High, it definitely isn’t my
last tennis match. Thanks to the other boys and to Mr Wright, and well done to everyone. Best of
luck for the next season. Calum York

3 Premierships in 3 years! Is this the best sporting performance in school history? Last game of
the season saw High in an exhilarating showdown against King’s last weekend, where both
1st and 2nd Grade came back from a large deficit to win with the smallest margins this
week. This win was crucial to 1st Grade; they are now tied 3rd on the GPS table, a very
exciting result for 1st Grade that the school should be very proud of. In 2nd Grade,
High superstar Bailey Musulin managed to score a game-winning layup to put High on a 13 win 1
loss record for the season, rendering them GPS Premiers for the 2012-13 season. Congratulations
to both Opens teams! Another great result from the Opens teams came from 4th Grade, where with
the game tied at 25 all Andrew once again rose to the occasion and sank the game winner.

It’s great to see that lower age groups such as the 13s are experiencing good wins in their
games, a very impressive feat that was certainly much better than when I was in the 13s in 2009.
Congratulations to all teams on a great effort this season, and make sure all of you attend the
Basketball Dinner if you can! Season stats will also be finalised soon; check back in High Notes

High Tide

Sydney Boys High School Sailing

16 March 2013

Saturday fleet racing concluded this weekend, in light winds of around 3-5 knots from the NW.
Sydney High sailors had the best results for the term, helped by the absence of the Cranbrook
sailors and the lighter conditions.

Fleet RacingTwo short course races were held with Sydney High sailors
achieving outstanding results in both. In Race 1, the most outstanding result was achieved by
Darren Tiang who sailed consistently into 2nd position, closely followed by David Evans, Hayden
Rabone and Tim Pilien in a fleet size of 26 boats. David had a great start and sailed most legs
around the course in the top placing, but was overtaken when forced to Jive on the sausage leg
close to the finish. Sydney High gained six out of the top ten positions.

In Race 2 the results were even better with Tim Pilien showing the form of a champion and finding
the speed lines needed to win a race. Daniel Fang was also finding form at the end of the season
with a splendid second place. David Evans showed his strengths by gaining a well- deserved third
and Darren Tiang rounding out a top four success. Great placings were achieved by Hayden Rabone
(6th), Kai Matsumoto (8th) and Vincent Xu (10th), making this the best result for the year. Close
starts were the order of the day at training

Teams RacingThe Sydney High Team Racing teams sailed well in the
conditions against all schools, including the Riverview team, this weekend. Reasonable
results were gained although in this sailing area Sydney High teams need additional training in
the areas of boat handling and the use of rules to succeed further in the upcoming State titles,
held in week ten. Teams racing training will continue on Saturday in the morning, against Scots
and Ascham schools.

WotOpera

Original operas meaningful to the lives of young people

A group of Music and Drama students have collaborated to create an Opera. Please come along
and enjoy the show.

Following its highly successful program in Sydney last year, WotOpera returns with fresh faces
and four new, original works!

WotOpera unlocks the creative potential of young people. Over eighty students from four Sydney
high schools have written four operas that showcase their creativity, talents and boundless
imaginations, the participating schools are:

Holroyd High School

Lurnea High School

Manly Selective Campus

Sydney Boys High School

The students collaborated to produce their own stories, then composed the music and designed and
painted their sets in a series of four one-day workshops representing just 21 hours! The four
schools will come together to perform their individual works at The Seymour Centre.

You are invited to delight in their journey and enjoy their creations on Tuesday 26 March at 7pm.

Proud Schools Celebration

Burwood Girls High School

On February 26th, a group of students from High attended a riot of colour at Proud School’s
Celebration at Burwood Girls. Proud Schools is an initiative to end homophobia, transphobia and
heterosexism, and to provide a safe and supportive environment for same sex attracted and gender
diverse students.

Guests of the school attended a celebratory school assembly including guest speakers, Jayden
Ellis and Brenna Harding from Wear It Purple; musical performances by students and a special
visit from a drag queen called Joyce Mange. The assembly’s underlying message was that if a
student feels included and connected to their respected schools, their education and wellbeing
will be greatly improved. It was followed by a rainbow flag raising ceremony and 1365 colourful
cupcakes were made for the guests.

After morning tea, programs were organised for students to reflect as individuals and as a group
on a range of issues. It was aimed at school environments and providing a safe place for same-sex
attracted students. Overall it was an enlightening day for all the students and a big thank you
to Mr Walker and Mr Kay for organising the transport and participation in the event.Sharek Khan 11F
